Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of radiography and multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in detecting complications after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Materials and Methods. The study included data from 40 patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty and subsequently underwent both radiography and MSCT in the postoperative period. The analysis focused on the frequency and nature of postoperative complications, including aseptic component loosening, scapular notching, periprosthetic resorption, periprosthetic fractures, and glenoid vault perforation.
Results. It has been established that MSCT makes it possible to visualize pathological changes with high accuracy, including in the early stages, and serves as an important tool in the formation of clinical and diagnostic tactics.
Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, recommendations were formulated for the inclusion of MSCT in the standard protocol of postoperative monitoring of patients.
